The Chargers are adding a top-notch blocker to their tight end room.
The club has agreed to terms on a free agent contract with former Raven’s tight end Charlie Kolar.

Meanwhile, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed that guard Zion Johnson
reached an agreement with the Cleveland Browns on a three-year deal with $49.5 million, including $32.4 million guaranteed.
The 27-year-old Kolar had 30 catches for 409 yards in four seasons with the Ravens. But his calling card is as a run blocker, and he adds an ideal fit for new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel’s scheme.
The 26-year-old Johnson started 66 of 67 games during his four-year career with the Chargers.
